Stephens was a bundle of contradictionsa prominent Whig who became a Democrat, an antisecessionist who became a vice president of the Confederacy, a Southern nationalist who became the symbol of states' rights obstructionism in the Confederacy. Schott's full and interesting biography rescues Stephens from an undeserved historical oblivion, as it also reveals the tragedy of a statesman whose world did not extend beyond Georgia. Stephens's very limitations speak volumes on why the idea of a single South crashed against the reality of many little Souths. Recommended for university libraries.Randall M.
